Life

Yadav Prasad Lamichhane

Yadav Lamichhane

When I searched for life

I could not find it any where

On attemting to reach the summit

I could not meet with success

I have no wish to descend

But ascending was difficult

If I lose courage

The will to live would be difficult

Life is indeed hard

I could not touch it

In trying to comprehend life

No definition is found

What is it ?

What is it ?
